Stevie Nicks apologizes for Nicki Minaj death threat

Just like the white-winged dove, Stevie Nicks hopes an apology can symbolize peace between her and pop singer Nicki Minaj.

The witchy Fleetwood Mac siren has issued an apology after she told The Daily she would have “strangled [Minaj] to death.” The remarks were in reference to a video that surfaced in which Minaj can be heard berating her fellow American Idol judge Mariah Carey with a NSFW rant.

“How dare this little girl,” the 64-year-old Nicks told The Daily in an interview to promote her documentary, In Your Dreams. “If I had been Mariah, I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there. I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it.”

With two days of careful retrospection, Nicks now says her remark was spoken “without thinking” as she was feeling protective over the 42-year-old “Fantasy” singer, “who has gone through many difficulties in her life.”

“I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj’s behavior toward Mariah Carey, which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews,” Nicks said in a statement. “It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said.”
